I couldn't help myself and had to buy these three new Funko POP! figures from Entertainment Earth's new Doctor Who line up. They also came out with the 4th Doctor as well as a Weeping Angel, Tardis and Dalek. I'm sure i'm missing a few of them but those were the main ones i've been eyeing for my collection.

I realized soon after I purchased and started writing this post they took them down due to an overwhelming response to the pre-orders. There is no indication as to when they will be back up so just keep an eye out for them in the future. I'm sure you can find them in other retail shops online so if you see it, snab it!

In the meantime you can check out some other Doctor Who items in the Entertainment Earth store, click the image below:

Loot Crate is a monthly geek and gamer swag subscription box. Each month they send 6 to 8 handpicked items for $13.37 plus $6 shipping and handling. Each box are guaranteed to have a value of $30 or more. The box is shipped via USPS Priority Mail and most times arrive in about 2 days which is very awesome.

The theme for December is Anniversary. You'll find items from Funko POP!, Simpsons, and Guardians Of The Galaxy. Heres what i received from Loot Crate this month:

EXCLUSIVE The Joker Batman-Batman POP! Vinyl Figure: This has got to be THE best item EVER. I am obsessed with Funko vinyls, I have started quite a collection especially from the Batman collection. I believe this is a very rare item since its a combination of the Joker and Batman and you cannot get this item anywheres else. Estimated retail cost for the figure is $25.

Simpsons Cast Mighty Wallet: I have always wanted a mighty wallet and now i'm very excited to have my very first one. On top of that its a Simpsons one which is even better. You can tell from my video just how excited I was when I saw this. Estimated retail cost for the wallet is $10.

EXCLUSIVE Batman Comic Book Issue #36: I always love when they include comics in the crates. As a comic book collector this excites me very much and can't wait to add it to my collection. Estimated retail cost for the book is $15.

EXCLUSIVE Dancing Groot Crew Socks: Since I am just about to move to a colder climate these socks will come in handy, and double plus they are Groot socks. The downside of these socks is wether the fact my husband will fight me for them. Estimated retail cost for the socks are $10.

Captain America Air Freshner: Most people know already I am definitely not a Captain American fan. This item will most likely go to someone who is. Maybe if it was orange to match our car i'd consider it. Estimated retail cost for the item is $8.

Tetris Sticker Set: Oh the possibilities with this. Definitely fun to put together and they really look like you are playing Tetris. Apparently this can be placed on pretty much any type of material. Estimated retail cost for the stickers are $5.

EXCLUSIVE Ghostbusters Door Hanger: Not really sure what you do with this since i'm kinda a grown up now and apparently grownups should not hang these on doors, unless you have kids, then thats totally acceptable. This will have to go displayed somewhere on the wall. Estimated retail cost for the figure is $5.

Crunchyroll Flyer: I love that Crunchyroll is getting a bunch of attention now. I use them quite often for anime, manga and most of all my drama shows. Estimated retail cost null void.

Themed Button: Button Swag

Once again our lovely box has turned into an awesome display case for your collectables.

I am IN LOVE with this box, entirely. Between the Funko Vinyl, the comic, and the mighty wallet my brain has exploded with excitement. Everything in this box made it for me. It felt as if they created this box solely for my existence only. Hands down this box was worth every penny. So after calculating the amount all together I say it all came to around $80.But hey you make the call on what you think the cost would be. After shipping is included you are paying $20 in total so for some this months box went above and beyond that price.

The theme for November is Battle. You'll find items from Mega Man, Halo and Assassins Creed. A themed shirt was also included as well. Heres what i received from Loot Crate this month:

Pirates vs Ninja T-Shirt: The shirt gives out a tribute to the ever long battle of Pirates vs Ninjas. Of course my choice is and has always been Pirates. Estimated retail cost for the shirt is $20.

Mega Man Mini Helmet: I thought this was an awesome piece to add to our shelf collection. I've been wanting something Mega Man to display for some time now. I would have loved to receive the blue helmet but green will do just fine. Estimated retail cost for the figure is $15.

HALO Drop Ship Mini Figure: I'm not much of the Halo game fan but I do love me some of the figures tho. This is pretty tiny so to display it on the shelf looks a bit strange. Estimated retail cost for the figure is $8.

Street Fighter Headband: Not sure what i'm going to do with a headband but gosh darnit i'll find SOMETHING. I used to kick ass in the game, Chun-Li's my girl and I had a soft heart for Blanka. Estimated retail cost for the headband is $5.

Assassin's Creed IV Unity Coin with Velvet Pouch: I'm not quite sure what one does with coins. I'm not much of a collector, I have been given some as gifts but I never know where to display them. This baby was quite heavy for its size, pretty cool looking. Not sure if its something I would ever buy or keep. Estimated retail cost for the coin is $8.

Game Redeeming Codes: Always love me some free gaming codes to play with. They offer a FREE full game download for Street Fighter IV Super arcade edition, that alone is actually $20 value and i've been dying to play it so YAY! Theres also a code to try Lichdom Battlemage, not sure if i'd try it out. And then a card that just pretty much states which side are you on.

This box for the month was one definitely for the gamers out there. I'm not so much of a fan of the items as I am with the games. I did love the Mega Man display item as well as the redemption code for the Street Fighter game. So after calculating the amount all together I say it all came to around $55.But hey you make the call on what you think the cost would be. After shipping is included you are paying $20 in total so for some this months box went above and beyond that price.
